In 1992, Roy Pedersen published his book ‘One Europe – 100 Nations’ and dedicated it to Yann Fouéré:-

“As my own work started, a small book emerged, unknown to me at the time, which neatly set out the philosophy, separately uncovered by myself in assembling ‘One Europe – 100 Nations’. That book, written in French, was called ‘L’Europe aux Cent Drapeaux’ (Europe of a Hundred Flags). The author, Yann Fouéré, described himself as a militant Breton, a militant Federalist and a militant European. He sought a single humane Europe, all of whose people were free.

To Yann Fouéré’s vision, I dedicate this book.”

Yann Fouere, the best-known and the oldest (at 65) of the Breton prisoners, is the author of “La Bretagne Ecartelee” and “L’Europe aux Cent Drapeaux” in which he develops his concept of freedom for ethnical communities through federalism. He is an Irish citizen.Ga dy vel Yann Fouere ny ghooinney mooar ayns caggey ny Britaan, she seyraanagh (citizen) Yernagh eh as ta dellal roagan echey ayns Conamara.
